As a huge fan of beautifully cooked eggs, imagine my disappointment when I opened the box to find an already broken egg yolk spilling across the salad :(
But I can only imagine that it is because it was broken during delivery. This benefit of the doubt shall also be extended as to why the hamburg patty was unfortunately dry and hard. BUT that being said, what it lacked in the texture department, it made up for it in terms of its flavour. The meat was so flavourful, as was the beautiful delicious sauce drizzled (or rather, generously poured) over the fluffy rice. It is one bowl I wouldn't hesitate to eat again for sure, except this time, I'll eat it on-site.

This is a no brainer. I loved the meaty flavors and it went really well with the home made pasta. It's worth getting the home made pasta. Love the dedication behind every dish served here. Can't wait to be have this again!

Moonlight Hor Fun.

Super niceee. 2nd super yummy dish is Moonlight Horfun, the texture is great and everything just right. This 2 dishes are fried but dont feel any oily-ness at all. A bit of let down is chillfoodi crab, no kick, feel crab meat is abit overcooked and the gravy was watery. But they have the best steam mantou, which saved the chillicrab. They have one of the best moonlight horfun and steam bun and mushroom bun. Finally ate at this store where I walk pass at least once a mth for past 2 years. 😂 near yet far is perfect sentence to describe this. #saturdate #sgfood #chillicrab #KEKseafood #burpple #igsg

Finally, a more-than-decent zichar closer to home. All the dishes we had were good, they have Dad's seal of approval ✔️ Try their claypot chicken feet, prawn paste wings, and salted egg pork ribs 👌 #burpple #localfood #nomichelinstarsneeded

Set within a nondescript coffeeshop diagonally across from Swee Choon, this is a hidden gem serving handmade dim sum that, according to Burpple Tastemaker Acamas Teo, easily rivals Swee Choon and 126. Go with Burpple Tastemaker Michelle Kayla Tay's suggestion of the Super Big Bao ($3.20). The humongous fluffy bun holds together a generous combination of juicy fillings that include half an egg, mushrooms, Chinese waxed sausage, and chunks of chicken and pork. Pair this with the Century Egg Shrimp Siew Mai ($1.80) and the Tofu Bamboo ($1.70), which sees minced meat and bamboo shoot wrapped within a sheet of beancurd skin. The food selection is pretty minimal so save this spot for a teatime outing. Don't forget to order a stellar cup of kopi or teh while you're here — it's seriously good.

Signature Spaghetti with Wild Boar Sauce ($8.90)

This looks fairly ordinary & even bordering on gross-looking (sorry), but I enjoyed it.

The sauce tastes somewhat like a creamy ragu, if that even makes sense. The standard pasta is spaghetti, but I was offered the Fettuccine option which apparently pairs better with the sauce. I wholeheartedly agree! It scoops up the sauce nicely & with every bite there is a nice portion of pasta with the good ol' sauce dribbling off of it.

I could imagine some folks wanting more meat or ingredients in this dish, but this did not bother me (for some strange reason).

$12.80, i find this is really worth?? The slices are fresh too. The whole bowl is 👌

This time, I couldn't resist the thick crispy kaya butter toast 😜 So good 😘 Had it with kopi as dessert after my chicken noodle with lots of not spicy chilli 😄Cost of simple happiness? $7 🤗

The tonkutsu broth surprised me with its rich umami flavours and creaminess. The thick noodle, freshly made everyday, is springy and chewy to the bite.

I will definitely go back for more ramen!

Head down to this restaurant if you want a little more fun during your meals as you can mix and pan-fry your own okonomiyaki (with your choice of 3 ingredients)! You can also go wild with the toppings and sauces after your okonomiyaki is done, and I would recommend getting an appetizer if you're hungry because the okonomiyaki takes at least 15mins to be done (it's worse when it's cooking right in front of you). If you're lazy, you can also get the service crew to do everything for you.

While the fun factor is there, I feel that the mix-ins given were quite little and the whole pancake lacked oomph. I had to top up more sweet sauce and chilli powder to satisfy my taste buds. Similarly, the gyozas I ordered were pretty bland and could definitely do with more minced pork.

Warm service received here, but their food can be improved!

For 150g of tender beef patty with sides of fried tau kee, tofu, ebi tempura, miso soup, rice, FREE FLOW EGGS and UNLIMITED ACCESS to a SALAD BAR OVER 25 INGREDIENTS at only $18.80 (top up $2 for CHEESE OOZING OUT OF YOUR HAMBURG), this is seriously the best deal for quality Japanese food in Singapore. Everything was so well done - hamburg was juicy and flavourful, ebi tempura was deep fried to a nice crisp, salad bar was constantly replenished with fresh ingredients (their noodles are good), and eggs were cooked well in a variety of styles.

The queue can go up to an hour due to the sheer number of seats so I would recommend going at their opening times of 11am and 5.30pm, but it'll be worth the wait anyway for that quality of food 😋
